I agree, I too think sleep issues are such a problem with this disease. I

am lyme free, but continue to suffer from severe sleep disturbances.

It actually was the very first symptom that surfaced back in 1995....it was

also the reason, I wasn't correctly dx until a few years after that. Sleep

deprivation causes so many symptoms similar to Lyme symptoms, that Drs. just

feel you are depressed and sleep deprived and don't have lyme

disease......usually they send you off to a psychiatrist.

I really believe that the lyme causes not only neurological damage but also

disrupts the functioning of the brain. I don't know if its the chemical

makeup of the brain or the actual brainwaves that are out of whack, but I

know too many of us have suffered from

nervous system disorders. Many lyme suffers, have short term memory loss,

live in a fog, have sleep issues, are easily confused, have trouble

concentrating, have tingling in arms and legs, nerve damage, brain

abnormalities, etc.

Fortunately I don't suffer from any of those symptoms any more, unless my

sleep disturbances get out of control.......during deep sleep a lot of

repair and replenishing takes place. That is why many people hurt so much

when they don't get enough deep sleep.

I am going for Neurofeedback Evaluation today........I hope my brainwaves

can be straightened out, and I can sleep again without medication. I know

the chemicals of my brain are crazy, releasing too much norephinerine, and

not enough serotonin, etc. etc.

What I wouldn't give for a good nights sleep and wake feeling energized and

refreshed..........

Don't we all :(
